My Wife Is So Sweet (Natalia Dawson) novel Chapter 374

Chapter 374 Heartless

In her shock, it took Natalia a long time to recover.

"Have you called the police?"

The man shook his head. "No. Mr. K's got too many skeletons in his closet for the police to get called. This can only be investigated and resolved alone."

Understanding, Natalia nodded.

Her chest felt stuffy, as if it was being clogged by a rock.

Seeing her downtrodden look, the man laughed lightly.

He stuck his handsome face closer to him, laughing, "With that business out the way, little Seven, tell me the truth now. Did you really not miss me at all these four years?"

Natalia's originally pale expression turned heated as she took a step back and glared at him with cautioning eyes.

"I'm warning you, Felix! Don't try to seduce me with those dirty tricks of yours! I'm not into that!"

Felix laughed dryly, his eyes curving up like they were full of wine, almost intoxicating.

"You're hurting me, little Seven. You were calling me big brother just four years ago, and now it's Felix? How could you be so heartless?"

Natalia had no reply and didn't want to waste her breath on him, so she turned to leave.

Behind her, Felix chuckled faintly. "I have your number, little Seven. I'm going to call you tonight. Don't leave me hanging."

His tones were merry, but Natalia could feel the cold, tinted with a bit of threat.

Her face darkened and she didn't say anything as she speed walked away.

Outside, with things weighing on her mind, Natalia wasn't inclined to stay further at the banquet, so she said her goodbyes to Victoria and gang, then left with Nancy.

It was already ten at night when they arrived home. Archie was reading in his room and knew that she mustn't have eaten too much over there at night, so he had Mrs. Dottie make her favorite seafood paella.

Natalia didn't have much of an appetite and set it down after a few bites.

At night, Archie stayed with her.

Her phone buzzed twice. The man noticed it sharply and didn't react. Looking at the number, Natalia knew who it was and was hesitating on taking it when she heard Archie say, "Have you found out who it was who was giving you all those flowers recently?"

Natalia started and didn't know if it was because she was feeling guilty or that her hand shook, but she accidentally pressed decline.

She lifted her head and looked at him in a daze, only reacting after a couple of seconds.

"Oh, not yet."

Archie's eyes dimmed.

"Need my help?"

"No, I'm fine."

She said hurriedly, afraid he'd really step in. By then, no matter what he turned up, it wouldn't be easy to explain.

Archie tilted his head at her.

"You're not feeling well?"

Natalia forced a smile and shook her head.

Then her phone started buzzing again.

Archie cocked his brow and looked at the indicated number, his eyes quizzical. "Aren't you taking it?"

Natalia could feel her body stiffening as she swayed between taking the call and not taking it. In the end, she still hung up.

"It's just work. It's too late now; we can talk about it in the morning!"

With that, she squirreled into the blankets.

Archie's handsome brow furrowed imperceptibly, but he didn't say anything about it as he turned the lights off and laid down as well.

The night went peacefully.

The following morning, before Natalia could get up, she was woken by the ringing of her phone.

She opened her eyes groggily, and before her vision could clear, she'd taken the call.
